“Early fan for Pneumo Pro.” – Kathy Blocki“First attempt at Pneumo Pro.” – Kathy Blocki“Original wood Pneumo Pro had 48 pieces including all the screws and washers. All the birch wood was precision cut using a computerized saw. The wood was treated with canola oil and then hung to dry. Each Pneumo Pro took about an hour to assemble.” – Kathy Blocki“A plastic version of the same design [image 3].” – Kathy Blocki“Second and more elegant design was made in a machine shop.
